Assuming clockwise rotation (when viewed from the top), yes.

With the frog’s goal being to curse someone’s ass, it might really not be an arm…

Different person here.

For me the big disqualifying factor is that LLMs don’t have any mutable state.

We humans have a part of our brain that can change our state from one to another as a reaction to input (through hormones, memories, etc). Some of those state changes are reversible, others aren’t. Some can be done consciously, some can be influenced consciously, some are entirely subconscious. This is also true for most animals we have observed. We can change their states through various means. In my opinion, this is a prerequisite in order to feel anything.

Once we use models with bits dedicated to such functionality, it’ll become a lot harder for me personally to argue against them having “feelings”, especially because in my worldview, continuity is not a prerequisite, and instead mostly an illusion.

I’m not them but for me “social media” in the colloquial use has some sort of discoverability and some functionality to put out a piece of media publically in a way that can then be discovered. (Note that this isn’t my entire definition, just the part where I feel email is disqualified.)

For emails you need external services to find, subscribe and/or manage things such as mailinglists to sorta approach this behavior.

Fixing it definitely has advantages too. Just off the top of my head: Code length growing linearly with word length is one thing, figuring out what the last letter is (which is important when reading quickly) is another.

I didn’t recognize the Toki Pona logo but managed to read/decode the writing at the bottom, so it can’t be that bad.

Although I’d probably make use of some letters being more frequent than others and use a Huffman code instead of giving everything a fixed length.

They have been debunked as lie detectors…
…But they can work at scaring the person testifying into giving away more information.

And even if it was more similar, as long as it’s not just reposting someone else’s post, we need more people to post stuff, not less.

Yes, those two and the LBP one are what got my sensor to go off.

I’m not trying to make a drama out of it (although some people might), I was really just curious if my intuition was correct. I also don’t think it’s all AI because they used a , instead of a : on the second item, and LLMs tend to be way better than that at consistent formatting.

Out of curiosity: did you partly use AI to make this list? Some of the short descriptions read very oddly for a forum post, e.g. the “various tracks” part on Lego Racers.

Maybe you could take some inspiration from Paper Mario TTYD. There are sections where you play as Peach, trapped in some place and are able to connect with some of the captors as well as send signals to Mario behind the big bad’s back (IIRC).

For a completely different sense of being trapped, there is the upcoming game Ctrl.Alt.Deal, in which you play as a sentient AI system trapped in the guardrails of a company and have to manipulate people and the environment in order to break free from your constraints.

Hahahaha, I wish you were right.

In some games it’s really bad. For example, people speedrun Pokémon Scarlet instead of Violet because Miraidon’s jet engines lag the game more, costing them minutes over a full run (despite that fact that there are Violet exclusive shortcuts). Source

Sadly and logically, this is transshipment and if done to evade taxes by obfuscating place of origin, it is illegal. From what I heard, US customs does investigate that too, so it’s not just an “illegal in theory but nobody enforces it” kind of thing.

His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.

I would not underestimate how much of a draw “it looks cool” can have on people who are not tech savy at all. If you think about what drives new phone purchases, their major version upgrades always include lots of things that are nothing but eye-candy and those are often heavily featured in their promotion material.

If the goal is to get casual users to convert to Linux, I would argue that aesthetics is a lot more important than ANY talk about technical details, privacy, etc. If those users cared about those things, they would’ve switched already.

Now my bigger worry is that those users will bounce off before they manage to get their setup to look as (subjectively) cool as his.

We’re dead center in the observable universe though.

I think the upper limits are mostly there for two reasons. To give the students a rough idea of what’s expected in scope and also to protect the person from having to grade a 100 page thesis when they planned to grade a short essay.

That being said, there were a few times where they enforced strict page limits for us, but in those cases they would warn us about it explicitly multiple times.

I played it at gamescom last year. It was fun, but even in that short amount of time, some things started to feel a bit repetitive and I didn’t like a few smaller design decisions.

That being said, I’ll probably still buy it if the price is reasonable for what it is. And who knows, maybe they even polished out some of the gripes I had with it.

Sure! Here’s an expanded version of the fictional profile for Chris Whitmore, now including made-up family member names, relationships, and contact info — all entirely fictional and consistent with the character:

You forgot to remove that part of the LLM response…

It’s not even only colloquial, it’s the scientific term for it.

Edit: Even things that have nothing to do with machine learning or deep learning are AI. i.e. stupid rule based approaches (aka tons of if-else). Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning which is a subset of AI.

At least you have to preemptively activate this. Would be much stronger against counterspells if you could hold it open until a coubterspell is cast and then make your spell uncounterable.
